"Did you forget? I have an immortal body," Derick reached out to comfort Castorice.
Castorice nodded lightly. But she didn't forget to remind him, "But this isn't Amphoreus. Your immortal body isn't omnipotent here."
"I know." Derick agreed, then looked at the others and said, "By the way, the clothes I'm wearing now are made of energy. General, does the Seat of Divine Foresight have any spare clothes? I need to change so I can continue fighting."
"Mhm, we have plenty of spare clothes here. I'll have someone take you to change."
Jing Yuan was quite a bit taller than Derick, but there were many Cloud Knights stationed in the Seat of Divine Foresight, and among them were some whose builds were roughly similar to Derick's. There were plenty of new clothes he could wear.
Jing Yuan took Derick to change his clothes.
While they were on their way, Jing Yuan asked him, "What is the source of that dense Abundance energy on you?"
"The Crimson Moon. That thing from the body of the Borisin War-pride, Fenghuang. He wanted to transfer it to my teacher, but I intercepted it," Derick replied.
The fact that Feixiao's body still has half of the Crimson Moon is a secret between the two of them. It won't be revealed to anyone else.
Then he said to Derick, "Can I ask you for a favor later?"
"The Vidyadhara Healer Lady is still with your companion. The situation on the Xianzhou Luofu is critical right now. If possible, could you bring her to the Seat of Divine Foresight to ensure her safety?" Jing Yuan said to Derick.
Derick looked at him, his eyes still questioning. He could clearly feel that there was a hidden meaning in Jing Yuan's words and wanted to know what else he was planning.
"You're very smart. The Vidyadhara Dragon-Lords are about to find the Healer Lady's location. I want to free her from their shackles, but it's inconvenient for me to step in, given my position as the General of the Luofu. But you are not from the Xianzhou, so you won't be subject to as many restrictions. Even if you have a conflict with the Vidyadhara of the Luofu, it won't be a big deal."
Especially since you have the Crimson Moon of the Borisin on you. Compared to a conflict with the Vidyadhara, that is a much more serious matter.
His inner killing intent was very strong. Jing Yuan might just be asking him to have a conflict with the Vidyadhara, but what Derick might do is send them to be reincarnated. Others might be spared, but if that Dragon-Lord Taoran was there, Derick would definitely find a way to get rid of that disgusting fellow.
Why keep him around? For the New Year?
After changing his clothes, Derick left the Seat of Divine Foresight with Castorice, Polyxia, and Hyacine to go find Cipher.
"This time, you get to taste what it's like to be kicked at the speed of light."
In a small alley in Aurum Alley, Cipher clapped her hands and flexed her feet, looking at the Vidyadhara man who was now lying on the ground in front of her.
The Vidyadhara's pursuit of Bailu and Cipher had grown increasingly intense. Even a thousand-year-old master thief like Cipher had been discovered by them.
Since she was discovered, Cipher, who hadn't wanted to make a move, now had no choice but to lift her leg and attack the Vidyadhara.
As the demigod of the Titan of Deceit, Cipher's strength was not something an ordinary Vidyadhara could compare to. On the Luofu, with no Dragon Lord present, no one was her match.
This person had tried to block her, so she had simply kicked him at an incredible speed.
One kick, and he was down.
"Sister Cipher, you're so amazing!"
Beside her, seeing Cipher's action, Bailu clapped her hands and praised her. Her tender face was full of happiness and excitement.
To be able to leave the Alchemy Commission for so long, to no longer be restricted by those Dragon-Lords… Bailu's heart was filled with satisfaction.
Bailu hadn't originally intended to call Cipher 'sister.' After all, although she looked like a child, she was actually several hundred years old, older than most people. But when she heard that Cipher's age was over a thousand, and after these few hours of care, Bailu was now more than willing to call her sister.
"Let me tell you, I am the legendary phantom thief of Amphoreus," Cipher said, puffing out her chest proudly.
"Amphoreus?" Bailu said curiously.
"Yes, that's sister's hometown. When there's a chance, I'll take you to see it." A child-snatching expression appeared on Cipher's lips.
"Mhm, mhm."
Bailu nodded repeatedly.
And just at that moment, another team of armed Vidyadhara came over.
"Quick, over here! Our companion sent a distress signal from here," the leader of the Vidyadhara shouted.
Cipher and Bailu both looked down at the man Cipher had knocked out. "You bastard, you actually sent a distress signal before you were knocked out?"
In this regard, Cipher had no experience. After all, in her thousand-plus years as a thief, she had never encountered this before. Most of the information communication on Amphoreus relied on Aglaea; this kind of signaling method was unknown to her.
This time, it served as a reminder for her.
Cipher gave his butt a few more kicks, then pulled Bailu along and fled into the distance.
"Those two! Quick, let's go after them!"
"Notify the Dragon-Lords, the target has been found."
"Stop, don't run!"
Looking at their pursuers, Cipher and Bailu both looked back and made a face at them.
Cipher didn't use her Super Speed. The Vidyadhara, having found her trail, immediately surrounded and intercepted them.
Soon, the two of them were cornered in an area of small alleys.
"What do we do?" Bailu asked Cipher.
"It's fine. If it really comes down to it, I'll just use another method to get you out of here." Hiding on the roof of a residence, Cipher idly fiddled with a coin and said casually to Bailu.
She hadn't wanted to use her Super Speed before, but now it seemed she had no choice.
"Really?" A look of anticipation appeared on Bailu's face. During their escape, she had witnessed many of Cipher's special abilities. Now that she said she had another special trick, Bailu's heart was filled with anticipation.
"Of course…" Cipher was just about to speak when, at the entrance of a house, a young-looking Dragon-Lord shouted loudly:
"Healer Lady, have you been kidnapped by those outworlders? That outworlder, you obediently hand over the Healer Lady to us now!"
"Or else what?" Cipher continued to look completely unconcerned.
"That guy Taoran, what is he planning to do?" Bailu was also puzzled.
"This outworlder is your accomplice, right? If you don't hand over the Healer Lady, then I'll have to take this outworlder back for investigation."
"Accomplice? What accomplice do I have?" Hearing the Dragon-Lord Taoran say this, Cipher was confused.
My accomplices are Derry-boy and the others. With their strength, you think you can take them away…
Wait! Something's not right!
Cipher's relaxed and playful expression instantly changed.
What is this bastard Dragon-Lord planning to do?
Bailu's expression also changed. The two of them looked in the direction Taoran was speaking. They saw a group of Dragon-Lords surrounding a silver-haired, green-clothed young woman who was slumped over a table, looking weak.
"These guys…" Bailu gritted her teeth, then stood up. "I'm here! I'm coming over now! You can't just hurt people!"
The Dragon-Lords were just trying to capture her. They knew Bailu's personality. Normally, she wouldn't care about others when she ran away. But if someone's life was in danger because of her, she would not sit back and watch.
She was a kind person at heart.
Seeing Bailu appear, a happy expression appeared on the Dragon-Lord Taoran's face.
In the end, he was the one who recaptured the Healer Lady.
But Taoran didn't notice that the "sickly" young woman they had surrounded had her fingers twitching slightly, about to summon something.
And he certainly didn't notice that the coin in Cipher's hand had already been tossed into the air.
"Come, Healer Lady…"
Taoran had only said half a sentence when he saw a flash of light appear behind Bail
